1. Add the dates, vanilla bean seeds/scrapings plus 1T. hot water to a blender and puree until smooth(ish).
2. Add 1/4 of the can of coconut milk and blend until smooth (it’s near impossible to create a completely smooth puree, so just be ok with the speckles of date).
3. Add the remaining 3/4 can of coconut milk and blend.
4. Transfer mixture to a container and transfer to the fridge until ready to use.

Once refrigerated, the mixture will set to a whip cream-like consistency, be sure to shake up again each time you use it!
